Hello to all, I need some assistance on this one. Pagemaker
6.5 is being stubborn and will not proof CMYK files
correctly. I am sending my proofs from my 3 Macs to an Epson
5000 with the Fiery Rip. I can get all my other apps to
proof correctly, Photoshop 6, Quark 4, Illustrator 9, even
Pagemaker 6.0 all match very nicely, but Pagemaker 6.5 looks
bad.
I am using the same workflow that works for the others apps,
I've tried Pagemaker's CMS on and also off, but no luck. If
I convert all my Tiffs to EPS then they will print okay as
they are now seen as CMYK. I did some digging into the
Postscript files and here is what I found.
The following are lines of code from the postscript files;
Pagemaker 6.0 no CMS:
%%IncludedImageType: 4 8 DeviceCMYK
[this of coarse prints fine]
Pagemaker 6.5 CMS on or off:
%%IncludedImageType: 3 8 DeviceRGB
[proof looks very bad]
Pagemaker 6.5 with EPS files:
%%DocumentProcessColors: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
[this of coarse prints fine]
Does anyone know why Pagemaker 6.5 insists on treating all
Tiff files as RGB? Is there a solution other than needing to
convert all Tiffs to EPS? Is there some setting in 6.5 that
I have overlooked and what about process colors that were
used in the document, are they also seen incorrectly as RGB?
Thanks to all for your suggestions,
David Wollmann
